I need to get a new desktop pc. I do photo video edit for stock. I wanted to get i7 processor with 16gb ram with some dedicated graphic card, but the problem is the desktop pc with only i5 processor and 8gb default ram is available in my country and i dont want to buy another laptop..
so if any one using or has used i5+8gb ram for video editing, could you please tell me if i go with this configuration or only i7 is best? do you find any significant difference in i5 and i7 processor for video editing in after effects/premier (and also photo edit too)
Thanking you in advance..

I'm using a Core 2 Quad with 16 Gram(ddr2) and it is working fine for HD and FullHD video editing.So the i5 CPU with a memory upgrade from 8 to 16 will be fine ...but not for 4k of course

and yes there is a huge difference from i5 to i7

Good luck

Huge difference? I heard there is not much difference, You have quad core, that mean i7 ?
Thanks for reply
